>Why would the catalog be "momentarily unavailable"? Catalog may be broken or too big to add a new catalog entry. (Or someone initialized a wrong Volser containing that Catalog. yeah, ask me how I know that one... had to intervene and recover it... It is somewhat messy affair.) In such a case, I would use another HLQ and do my saving of "desperately needed" data. Been there, done that.
